Since most ISPs Acceptable-use-policies AUP cite port scaning as grounds
for termination, users of this thing will likely get warnings and/or
account terminations...I suspect that's how it will really get killed.

Unfotunately, it's the ISPs that are going to feel the blunt of the
impact dealing with all the complaints that will inevitably come.

I like how he glosses of this *minor* detail in his FAQ...stating that
the only problem is that ISP Abuse departments may be "confused" by this
new "innovative" product.  LOL.
